Natural Ethiopian Fire Opal with Rainbow Fire
This Ethiopian Opal shows beautiful play-of-color — rainbow flashes that dance across the stone when you move it in light. Each angle reveals different colours. Sourced from Welo, Ethiopia — the world’s best opal region.
At 3.40 carats, this is an ideal starter size for those new to opals or looking for affordable genuine fire opal. The 12.9 × 9.6 mm spread gives good visual size for rings or pendants.
